Not So Fast, QuickTax!

December 16, 2008 6:29 am

A few days ago I got an email from QuickTax announcing: “QuickTax, more value now with 8 returns”.  Of course, they forgot to mention that they totally ripped everyone off last year when they reduced the number of returns from 5 down to 2.  Now they increase the number of returns up and we are supposed to jump up and down?  I don’t think so.  Last year, I purchased QuickTax without realizing that the number of returns was too small for my needs.  So, I actually had to go out and either buy more licenses of QuickTax (not likely!) or buy another product.  I chose to purchase UFile mainly because of the price.  Sure, it was a different way to do the tax return but, you know what?  Previous years QuickTax forms were imported fine, the return got done and it cost less than QuickTax.  I’m also thinking about not spending anything for tax software and using studiotax instead.

Whichever way I decide, one thing is certain, Intuit will not be receiving any more of my money.
